Norris ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Couldn't have done it in a more difficult way ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

NORRIS got it!

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've complained about Norris's race craft before, but that double overtake was slick.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

yes he did what he had to do. it was clean

[โ€“] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He overtook off track tho?

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[โ€“] TheYang@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Well, he could have backed out. (Which would have been safer)

With this ruling FIA says that that's not required.

~~Stroll on fire with the P10 to get Aston Martin one point ahead of Racing Bulls in the constructors'.~~

I was wrong. VCARB is ahead. F1TV commentators misled me.

I hope we get some donuts when this is over.

[โ€“] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I gotta say that during Max's resurgence I was seriously debating not renewing my subscription for next year. I was just bored of the entire sport even though everything is so close and it's much more thrilling than those dominant seasons we've become used to.

I'm sort of excited for today's event but I'm not 100% sure I'll be along for the ride next year. You get maybe 6 interesting races, the rest is all just processions that take a couple of hours.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 1 month ago

Next year is the biggest regulation change in decades. DRS will be gone. There'll be another team on the grid, or two really with Audi. And the first year of a set of regulations is always crazy cool imo. Development race will be wild, we'll have many different aero concepts at the start, the new engines will probably have reliability issues for a while...

Of all the times to stop watching, this one I can't really understand. If course if what you want is tons of overtaking and wheel-to-wheel then there is no guarantees, but when was that ever guaranteed in F1?

[โ€“] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

I'm glad I don't pay for it, I definitely wouldn't have stuck around in 23 but hopefully the new regs don't lead to the same thing happening again

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

This is it! Folks it has been a pleasure following this season with you!

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Tsunoda's now the one ahead of Norris. Japanese minister of defenseโ„ข๏ธ activated.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago
[โ€“] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Team orders in Monza were crucial for this championship. Who would know?

[โ€“] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Four racing laps to go, utterly tedious in the podium places for almost the entire race but some exciting battles going on down the field!

[โ€“] SneakyWeasel@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Omg that yuki block was scary...

[โ€“] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hopeful, but resigned to the obvious. It'd take a fuckup of monumental proportiona for lando to lose this one.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah we basically need three cars to be faster than Lando. Even if Max wins and Russel gets second (not unthinkable), McLaren will just ask to swap positions if Piastri is third. So we'll need another podium crasher and I just can't see it.

[โ€“] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Going off previous form...

Lawson does love a 5 second penalty for causing a collision, doesn't he?

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Given how many drivers have been hated by fans for driving reckless, I wonder why Lawson isn't more unpopular

Nice overtake by Norris on Tsunoda

[โ€“] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Finnaly after 4 years SKY F1 are happy.

[โ€“] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Best outcome: Norris fans are satisfied with his WDC, Verstappen fans are satisfied because he was the best driver this year.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

yeah and that podium reflect the season too. 3 of the best drivers and cars.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Alonso is going to back up the whole grid to give Stroll a free pitstop ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 month ago

He sadly didn't have enough time to do it before Stroll's tires fell of a cliff

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Hamilton going to end 7/8 aligned with the whole season...

[โ€“] SneakyWeasel@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I really hope lando doesnt botch this. It almost seems like hes nervous to try and be around the top 2

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 1 month ago

It's a little bit boring, but it's the safe way to do it. Just cruising to 3rd should be very easy for him and that's all that's needed.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Great racing by both Alonso and Piastri there!

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

yes Alonso is really impressive.

[โ€“] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Terrified of Lando having to get past Stroll unscathed

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not surprised the stewards didn't want to penalize Norris there. Will Red Bull file a complaint?

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

what penalty Bro ? ;)

[โ€“] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can see Lando getting a 5 second penalty, which would really mess up any team order options for McLaren.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

or better, 5 sec penalty coming after the WDC is given to Norris.... more drama
